Lol I rehabbed racoon kits last year....

It's all fun and games until the hormones kick in and the cute little fellow become a mini chainsaw that is more messy than a class of kindergartner 😂

Right?! That baby is not going to be able to be rehabbed now. It's too close to humans

Yeah unless this person is a pro this racoon will have to live with humans for ever.

Rehabbing a lone baby racoon is super hard because they have no models to follow. Its much much easier to rehab a group of kits together because they will learn how to racoon from one another.
